Fisher was dating Melisa Gregory at the time they were killed at the horse ranch -- just northwest of Newton. <John Halferty, Jasper County Sheriff "FOR THE LAST 31 YEARS THE DEATHS OF STEVEN AND MELISA HAVE WEIGHED HEAVILY ON THE FISHER AND GREGORY FAMILIES, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND MANY PEOPLE IN JASPER COUNTY AS WELL."> Investigators haven't said what exactly led them to the Supino's arrest years after the brutal murders, but court documents reveal one witness who worked with Supino said the defendant told her that if she ever caught the victims 'together again' that she would 'kill them' The trial is expect to last three weeks..... Nearly a month of waiting which pales in comparison to the three decades loved ones have waited for closure. <Lisa Gregory, Melisa Gregroy's sister "THE SAD PART ABOUT IT IS THE LOSS OF THE TWO LIVES BUT HOW IT DESTROYED SO MANY OTHER LIVES IN ITS WAKE."> <Mike Balmer, Retired Jasper County deputy "IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THERE IS FINALLY GOING TO BE SOME CLOSURE, AT LEAST, IN THIS CASE."
